REMORSE.
All Nature's asleep, even the winds are still, I alone, of all God's creatures, am wakeful and chill The fire has burned low in the blackened grate, And I fearfully, shudderingly, wail—still wait! Ah! what was that? only the whitened wall Where ihe fire-light flickered a moment, 'twas all, Yet it seemed my name was whispered o'er and o'er, Just God! must I hear the echo forevermore?
There's a dark shadow ever haunting my room, Always stopping where lurks the gloom, I start from IUV sleep, forever knowing 'tis there, And dream that its bony hand clutches my hair Hush! throbbing heart, What fearful thing do you hear? •Twas naught but the hoot of the owl, sharp and clear, Cheering his lone watch, in the forests deep shade, Or answering the drear cry, by the night-hawk made
Yes, echoing back, with his mournful cry— Hush! heard I not some sorrowing sigh? No, beating pnlses, be still, 'twas naught you heard Save the fluttering wing of some unseen bird, Swaying on his perch in the old oak by the door. To-morrow I'll see that he swings there no more. What's that? only a star looking lovingly in Methought 'twas an eye rebuking my sin.
Oh! tired eyelids rest in sweet sleep! Let ns no longer this night vigil keep, Oh! weary spirit forget your restless pain, Forget your startling thought, my burning brain! Yet no, there's some one tries my chamber door, Again the presence comes, comes swifter than before, In vain the bolts are drawn, vain the uttered prayer Forever must this hideous thing, upon my vision glare. E. B.
IN QUIET DAYS.
The dying year grows strangely mild: Now in the hazy antumn weather My heart is happy like a child. And life and
I,
friends reconciled,
Go over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still, As waters slipping over sand, Seeking the shadows of free will To gather tenderer lights than fill
Day's over-lavish hand.
The summer woods with music rings, The singer's is a troubled breast I am no more the bird that sings. But that which broods with folded wings
Upon its quiet nest.
Oh, fairest month of all the year! Oh, sweetest davs in life! they melt: Within, without, Is autumn cheer, September there, September here,
So tranquil and so sweet.
Oft have I watched all night with grief, All night with joy, and which is best? Ah, both were sharp, and both were brief, My heart was like a wind-blown leaf,
I give them both for rest.
Fair Quiet, close to Joy allied. But loving shadier walks to keep, Bv dav is ever at my side And all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.
